Oddly, I regularly think about how great plumbing is, and I've been noticing this for the past 5-10 years, I think (I'm in my 40s). I think one day I was probably in the shower and thinking about how awesome it was to have a hot shower. Then I started thinking about how great not having to use a "night soil pot" or an outhouse is, especially in hot or cold weather. I don't think I've spent as much time contemplating the joy of HVAC systems, but I know I've thought about them from time to time.

> I don't think I've spent as much time contemplating the joy of HVAC You haven't spent enough time in hot, humid climates. Go to Houston in the summer and you will not have to contemplate for long.

  I've been there. I've also been to Taiwan in the summer multiple times.

    Without air conditioning???

      No, fortunately. AC is pretty pervasive there, and my mother-in-law's house has it.

        OK, well, try it without AC some time and you will be amazed how quickly you will learn to be thankful for it :-)
